Chapter Summaries

Fina’s uncontrolled magic transformed her and set the house ablaze, leaving Bell badly burned and his school uniform, hair, and Wand destroyed. Shanna arrived after the flames subsided, and Bell explained what had happened as he treated his injuries.

• Fina’s flames died down after her transformation, and she fell asleep while Bell’s flames were absorbed into her.
• Bell found his Space Pocket intact but discovered that his hair, school uniform, and Wand had been burned away as the damaged house began to collapse.
• Shanna rushed in and blasted a hole through the falling debris with a Magic Power Impact.
• Shanna confirmed that Bell had only suffered superficial injuries, then asked whether the sleeping golden creature was Fina.
• Bell drank a healing Potion, used the Elder Wand to heal himself, and explained that Fina’s uncontrolled magic had run wild during her transformation.

After Fina’s unexpected transformation destroyed Bell’s gifts and left him looking battered, she adjusted to her larger body while serving as Little Bell’s mount. As the school year ended, Bell told Little Bell they would return home the next morning, then prepared to discuss something important with her.

• Fina transformed inside the house without warning, destroying Bell’s collected gifts, and Bell left to recover before anyone saw him.
• Bell and Shanna struggled to adjust to Fina’s new size, while Fina lost access to her games and former Hogwarts territories and was assigned to look after Little Bell.
• Fina flew Little Bell around and later greeted Bell, who promised that she could explore freely once they returned home.
• Bell told Little Bell that they would leave after the Year-End Banquet, then said he had something important to discuss with her.

Bell left Little Bell at home with Fina before setting out with Shanna, Yomi, and Hermione for the Floating Island. After arriving there, the group found staff preparing teleportation cabinets for their journey.

• Bell told Little Bell that she could not accompany him, Shanna, and Yomi on their dangerous trip, and Little Bell agreed to stay with Fina.
• After Bell and Little Bell left, Fina went to its new house and watched a game livestream.
• On the fourth day of summer vacation, Bell left Menethil Castle with Shanna and Yomi, picked up Hermione, and traveled to Central London.
• Bell took the group through the building’s hidden passage to the Floating Island, reminding them not to take the wrong path or look around.
• Bell and the others saw staff charging and calibrating teleportation cabinets on the expanded Floating Island.

Bell and his group faced a security check at the Menethil Family’s Floating Island, but Yomi’s inability to use a Wand triggered the Defense Barrier’s hostile response. Bell improvised a crude Wand that passed inspection, and the barrier opened as Andrew rushed to meet them.

• Yomi told Bell she did not have a Wand because her Magic Power destroyed nearly every one she tried to use.
• Bell tried to contact Andrew outside the soundproof barrier, while the security system sounded an alarm and began forming Ancient Runes around Yomi.
• Andrew ordered his staff to stop the hostile response, but they could not disable the Defense Barrier’s functions.
• Bell fashioned a crude Wand from his hair and dead locust wood, and Yomi placed it on the inspection tray.
• The inspection passed, the barrier opened, and Andrew hurried to check that Bell and the others were unharmed.

Bell criticized flaws in the teleportation facility’s security before leading the group to breakfast ahead of their scheduled journey to Dark Star. His warning that he might not be able to handle the planet’s dangers left Hermione wondering whether she could still back out.

• Bell pointed out loopholes in the facility’s defenses, and Andrew apologized and promised to have the barrier specialists fix them.
• Bell learned that two travelers were still missing but told Andrew to proceed with the teleportation on schedule.
• Hermione admitted she had skipped breakfast because she feared becoming sick during teleportation, and Bell reassured her that the technology had improved.
• Andrew led Bell’s group to the lounge, where Penelope and five others were waiting; Penelope said she had arrived early because she was excited.
• Bell warned Penelope to rest because Dark Star was dangerous and said he was not confident he could handle their target, making Hermione reconsider the trip.

Hermione and Bell arrived on Dark Star with a group of Wizards, where Bell explained the planet’s perpetual darkness and reunited with Jennifer. Jennifer complained that fighting the Ice Elements bored her and eagerly tried to persuade Bell to create a personal guard so she could join it.

• Hermione entered a teleportation pod with the group and was surprised when the journey ended almost instantly.
• Bell explained that Dark Star had no day or night because stardust around nearby N'Zoth blocked distant starlight.
• Bell greeted Jennifer, who had been assigned to lead the resource-gathering operation on Dark Star.
• Jennifer said the Ice Elements were easy to fight and asked Bell to transfer her to his personal guard.
• Bell said he had no personal guard, so Jennifer urged him to establish one and offered to become its first member.

Bell and his team left Dark Star Base to investigate Ice Elements, dangerous ice-aligned creatures that attack anything warmer than freezing. They encountered their first Ice Element near the edge of the safe zone, where Bell easily restrained it with a Levitation Charm.

• Bell formed a six-person team with Jennifer, Penelope, Yomi, Hermione, and Shanna, and Jennifer joined after assuring him she had arranged for the base to be managed during their outing.
• Jennifer led the group through the darkness with a ball of light and explained that base personnel regularly cleared Ice Elements from the area around the base.
• Jennifer told Bell the team was nearing the safe zone's edge, where Ice Elements sometimes wandered, and an Ice Element rolled toward them moments later.
• Bell used Wingardium Leviosa to restrain the Ice Element, while the others examined its gelatinous body.
• Hermione found the restrained Ice Element cute and considered taking it home as a companion for Crookshanks.

Bell and his group studied an Ice Slime before leaving the safe zone, where a beast-form Ice Element attacked them. Bell let Shanna fight it, but her Explosion Curse produced no flames and barely damaged the creature.

• Jennifer explained that Ice Slimes stored frost Magic Power and that other Ice Elements had valuable ice cores, while the Menethil Family protected them from overhunting.
• Bell's group examined an Ice Slime, and Bell sent it away rather than let Hermione take it home as a pet.
• An icy-blue beast-form Ice Element attacked the group and scattered Jennifer's magical light orb.
• Bell stopped Jennifer from attacking and asked Shanna to handle the Ice Element.
• Shanna cast her Explosion Curse, blasted the Ice Element away, and was disappointed that the spell made no flames and caused little damage.

Shanna fought an Ice Element on Dark Star and discovered that its extreme durability made it far harder to defeat than expected. After testing several spells and enduring its icy breath, she destroyed it with a powerful spiraling attack.

• Shanna found that her Incendio produced only a weak flame on Dark Star, then used an Obstruction Jinx to stop the Ice Element’s charge.
• Shanna blocked the Ice Element’s icy breath with a stone wall and hurled shattered pieces of the wall at it, but the creature emerged unharmed.
• Bell was shocked that Shanna struggled to kill the monster, and Jennifer explained that Dark Star’s Ice Elements had powerful defenses and were usually worn down over hours.
• Shanna tested spells against the Ice Element, found most restraints ineffective, and bound it with chains conjured from the ground.
• Shanna charged her Wand and used Tengen Toppa to blast through the stone wall and shatter the Ice Element.

Shanna destroyed an Ice Element’s body without damaging its ice core, then helped the group secure it for extraction. Bell and his companions continued across Dark Star, fighting Ice Elements and escaping a deadly swarm as they traveled.

• Shanna used a combination spell to shred an Ice Element’s torso, and its limbs reassembled around its head into a smaller form.
• Shanna bound and disarmed the Ice Element, leaving its ice core protected inside a smooth sphere.
• Jennifer sealed the sphere in runes and gave Shanna the resulting bead to carry back to the base.
• Bell rejected Jennifer’s offer to use Side-Along Apparition and led the group onward by flying across Dark Star.
• Over three days, Bell and his companions fought ordinary and elite Ice Elements and trained together against the larger threats.
• Bell and his companions fled from a vast swarm of communal Ice Elements whose numbers and defenses made them more dangerous than the Elite Monsters.

Bell and his companions fought a swarm of Ice Elements after Bell approached them out of curiosity, and he used the battle to train Penelope. The fight continued as Bell pondered ways to improve Thousand Changes and realized Yomi had been using the melee to slack off.

• Bell approached a passing Ice Element swarm to observe it, but an Ice Element hidden underground alerted the others, which turned and charged at the group.
• Bell and his companions held off the Ice Elements for nearly twenty minutes while Penelope struggled to keep casting spells.
• Bell used Thousand Changes to repel Ice Elements and invited Shanna to use it, but she showed she could make rock figures fight with Transfiguration instead.
• Bell considered modifying Thousand Changes to work better in Dark Star’s cold, then became distracted and let the Ice Elements press closer.
• Hermione scolded Bell for slacking, and he expanded Thousand Changes to push the Ice Elements back before noticing Yomi had sheathed her blade and stopped fighting.

After recovering from a battle with a swarm of Ice Elements, Bell’s group used Side-Along Apparition to approach their next target on Dark Star. They found the surveillance personnel and sensed the immense magical presence ahead, leaving them on the brink of confronting it.

• Bell ordered the group to retreat from the Ice Elements, and Thousand Changes carried them to safety as Penelope and Bell struggled with exhaustion.
• Jennifer suggested returning to the base to rest, and Bell agreed before leading everyone back.
• After a day of recovery, Bell’s group used Side-Along Apparition, landed far from their target, and used a Magic Power map to set their direction.
• Bell warned everyone to keep their distance from the dangerous target as the group flew northwest toward it.
• Jennifer guided the group to the surveillance personnel, and Bell sensed the target’s tremendous aggregation of Magic Power.

Bell and his companions confronted the enormous Elemental Lord on Dark Star, whose strength far surpassed any Ice Element they had encountered. After the creature attacked from beyond Shanna’s sensing range, Bell organized the group’s defenses and prepared to fight it.

• Bell identified the distant creature as an Elemental Lord and told Roerld and Kasim to hide while he tested its strength.
• Bell warned his companions to use Side-Along Apparition if the fight went badly, then fired a sphere of light toward the Elemental Lord.
• The Elemental Lord extinguished the light, rose to its feet, and sent tremors and freezing air across the area.
• The Elemental Lord attacked from at least ten kilometers away with a massive chunk of ice, shattering Bell’s protective barrier.
• Bell assigned Hermione and Penelope to support the defenses, Shanna and Jennifer to attack, and Yomi to hinder the Elemental Lord.
• Hermione and Penelope reinforced Bell’s Protego Totalum, allowing their combined barrier to withstand the next ice attack.

Bell and Yomi attacked the Elemental Lord, but their magic and weapons barely harmed it. Bell pulled Yomi clear of a crushing strike, leaving them to face the giant’s immense durability and power.

• Bell used Sunshine Charm to draw the Elemental Lord’s attention, then led the group toward it and told Shanna and the others to provide support from a safer distance.
• Bell and Yomi engaged the Elemental Lord, but Bell’s ordinary Curses and Killing Curse failed to hurt it, while Yomi’s slash bounced off its ankle.
• Bell used the Elemental Lord’s momentum to reshape the ground and topple it, creating a destructive shockwave that Yomi narrowly escaped.
• Yomi charged back into the dust and struck the Elemental Lord repeatedly, but her attacks barely marked its surface and the wounds quickly healed.
• Bell pulled Yomi away just before a giant ice hand slammed down where she had been.

Bell and his companions struggled to damage the Elemental Lord, so Bell tested Shanna’s Undying Flame and discovered that it could burn the creature. He called Yomi to help as the flames spread, intent on obtaining the Elemental Lord’s Ice Core rather than killing it outright.

• The Elemental Lord transformed itself upright, while Yomi cut off her freezing legs and used the Killing Stone to regenerate them.
• Bell changed tactics and spent several hours searching for a weak point, but every part of the Elemental Lord had formidable defenses.
• Bell told Shanna to cast Undying Flame, and she launched a giant fireball that engulfed the Elemental Lord.
• The Elemental Lord’s icy Magic Power failed to extinguish the flames and instead fueled them, leaving Bell worried that the creature would burn away before he could retrieve its Ice Core.
• Bell called Yomi over to help, still focused on obtaining the Ice Core for his exclusive weapon.

Bell used All Spells End and Yomi’s Killing Stone power to contain the Fiendfyre burning the Elemental Lord. The spell extinguished the flames but began rapidly corroding the Elemental Lord’s body, so Bell ordered everyone to run.

• Bell’s Undying Flame Curse spread across the Elemental Lord and the surrounding ground far more powerfully than he had intended.
• Yomi activated the Killing Stone and transferred its power to Bell, who used All Spells End to form a vast light curtain that erased the ground flames.
• Fiendfyre on the Elemental Lord gathered into beast heads and attacked the curtain, resisting its contraction.
• Bell urged Yomi to increase the power transfer, and she did despite the danger the Killing Stone posed to him.
• Bell’s strengthened light curtain extinguished the flames on the Elemental Lord but began corroding its body, prompting him to order everyone to run.

Bell and Yomi escaped the Elemental Lord after its attack left them both gravely injured, and Bell used the Elder Wand to heal Yomi. Shanna and Jennifer returned to the cave, where Bell asked them not to turn on the lights.

• The Elemental Lord struck Bell and Yomi with a massive ice ball, badly injuring Bell despite Ten Thousand Snakes absorbing most of the impact.
• Shanna ordered Hermione, Jennifer, and Penelope to return to base with Side-Along Apparition while Bell and Yomi fled.
• Yomi accelerated away from the Elemental Lord with Bell and carried him into a cliff, where they took shelter in a cave.
• Bell used the Elder Wand to cast a healing spell on Yomi, who had exhausted herself protecting him during their escape.
• Shanna and Jennifer appeared outside the cave, and Bell asked them not to turn on the lights.

Bell recovered at the base after his encounter with the Elemental Lord and decided to wait until the Space Battleship was ready before challenging it again. Three days after treatment, he was mostly healed and being cared for by Hermione.

• Bell kept the lights off to protect the naked, badly injured Yomi from being seen, then accepted Potions and help from Shanna.
• Bell admitted his arrogance had contributed to the injuries and told Shanna they would wait until the Space Battleship was finished before testing it against the Elemental Lord.
• Bell and Yomi returned to the base in Shanna's flying car, where medical staff carried Bell into treatment and put him to sleep with a Sleeping Charm.
• Three days later, Bell sat on the balcony longing for ice cream while Hermione fed him congee and continued caring for him.

Bell and Hermione discussed visiting her parents and talking over their future, then Bell stayed overnight at the Grangers’ home after returning from Dark Star. The next morning, Mrs. Granger teased them while Hermione pinched Bell, and Bell sat through breakfast under the family’s scrutiny.

• Bell asked Hermione if he could visit her family home and discuss important matters with her parents before they graduated.
• Bell whispered his intentions to Hermione, who became flustered, and he reassured her as she leaned into his arms.
• After staying four more days on Dark Star while Yomi recovered, Bell returned to Earth and visited the Grangers with Hermione.
• Bell shared stories of the Magical World over dinner, then accepted the Grangers’ invitation to stay overnight.
• Hermione woke Bell the next morning, and Mrs. Granger teased the couple while Bell endured Hermione’s pinches and Mr. Granger’s scrutiny at breakfast.

Bell and Hermione set out on a summer shopping date, but Bell had no Muggle money and tried to make counterfeit banknotes with Transfiguration. Hermione stopped him and offered to pay, leaving them ready to go shopping.

• Bell proposed that he and Hermione go shopping instead of visiting a Library.
• Bell realized he had no Pounds Sterling and used Transfiguration to turn leaves into banknotes.
• Hermione confiscated and burned Bell's fake 100-pound note, which bore Shanna's portrait.
• Hermione scolded Bell and told him she had money to pay for their outing.
